I like to think it's just a wart, but I get the feeling that it'sss...not.

Why is the toilet paper angry?

What do colorful sperm have to do with Halloween?(Granted, "Happy" I could see...)

WHAT in the name of sweet Lassie is that spider doing?!?

I have two questions for Mr. Ghost-with-the-Most here:First, why did the Wreckerator feel it necessary to include two small chocolate bars and a gummi worm? And second, why, oh why, did s/he put them there and in that order?

Now, I don't want to leave you with all questions, my dear Wreckies, so here's a cake that answers the following:

Q) What do you get if you cross Princess Leia, Dracula, and the Bride of Frankenstein?

I have finally stopped laughing for long enough to write a comment. The caption on the spider/dog orgy cake is hilarious! I started laughing, and then I showed it to some other folks and they started and, well, you know how it goes!

Oh my, that bakery must be really proud of their colorful...soldiers, the CCC next to it is also covered in swimmers. What else could those be meant to be, seriously?!?On the dog/spider love cake, I am more concerned with the very thick, very orange frosting boarder on the cardboard...what purpose does this serve?I love the TP one!

So close, yet so far away on that last cake. It could have been cute. One of my grocery stores has those eyes on the witch, they made a 3 eyed monster. I didn't think he was quite wrecky enough to send in though.

At least the first bakery found an ingenious way to utilize those heart pans they bought for Valentine's Day. And when I say "ingenious", I mean who the heck thought it would be a good idea to sell a cake that looks like a witch with the flu?

Love the re-purposing of the heart pan! Love the angry tp. May be their (awful!) take on marshie from homstarrunner? The colorful sperm - Oh my goodness! I'm surprised the manager let that be on display!

First cake maybe attempting a Wicked Witch of the West Chin. The attempt went horribly wrong.Wow, the 4th cake, that doggie looks very uncomfortable. I guess I would be uncomfortable too. Poor spider placement. I have no words for the rest of thee horrifying wrecks. Well, except........Mommy!!!!!

There seems to be a distinct upsurge in people wanting sperm on their cakes. I saw some cakes at our local grocery with the same "design" - I think they're supposed to be lizards, but why bother with details?

I'm preeettty sure I can see the 'hands/arms' on that ghost in the icing, so maybe he's supposed to be holding candy...? Though I suppose the ghost having hands to hold that stuff really doesn't help the situation.

Obviously, somewhere in the same bakery there's a jelly roll or an eclair (presumably not a ladyfinger) or a Long Tom that really gets around at night! It seems to mate indiscriminately with cookie cakes, cup cake cakes, and I don't know what else.

I think the Princess Leia cake is supposed to be a bat (one of those big-eared ones). A Star Wars sort of bat, but still a bat.

I was away from my computer for 5 days and then woke this morning sick as the proverbial dog, bad stomach cramps. This post made me laugh so hard I threw up.... and I don't regret it. Thanks for raising my spirits, even if you did bring up other things as well.

Oh, guys, how could you not SEE? The cake with the chocolate bars/gummy worm... erm... decoration? (yes, for the sake of decorum, we'll call it "decoration.") Of COURSE they used Mr. Goodbar - 'cause it's full of NUTS!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
